[Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

The raft looks solid. As long as at least one person dedicates themselves to operating the pole wtih both hands passage across should not be a problem.

Apart from the otters splashing about in the water some distance away Sabynha can detect no other forms of life anywhere, or signs of another raft at the island. She also finds no signs of tracks or traps about the place.

"Looks safe enough," says Zuri as she picks up the pole.

Rain steps on to the raft gingerly.

Sabyhna was still enthralled by the frolicking otters, and absently followed aboard, still watching the playful creatures. Crouching down at the side of the raft, she also dipped a hand into the water to feel the temperature; the gentle water was tempting to take a little swim.

Wat stepped onto the boat and grabbed the pole, ready to start pushing when everyone was aboard.

Casting off, Shandra climbs aboard as well. Zuri releases the pole to Wat, but sits ready to help if necessary.

Shandra also steps onto the raft, taking the pole from Wat who had taken it from Zuri, and pushes off. When you are well out into the lake, a thunderous voice shouts, 'This island's mine, fools! Soryth and I have already won!"
On the shore you just left, a male pixie in blue robes flies just above the grass. Over him floats the shadowy image of a fanged man with large horns. The image looks as if it is sculpted of dark smoke.


To the pixie, the fiendish vision says, "Kalbon, master of this isle, commands you into battle, slave. Summon your winds. Crush these intruders, then bring me Orlando." The face looks like it might continue its rant, but as the pixie moves over the water, the air shimmers. Like smoke on an unseen wind, the foul vision fades. "Yes," is all the pixie says.


Four small water spouts erupt near him and move forward like predatory beasts.

"Of course it would not be so easy." Sabynha sounded tired. She tried her best to make sure her footing was good, but had a sinking feeling (lol) that she'd be taking a swim whether she wanted to or not. [sblock=initiative] 1d20+4=20 Best I could have hoped for was a tie. Didn't.[/sblock]

[sblock=initiative]Zuri = 15
Rain = 19.

I had a punt for Shandra as well = 12 .

The pixie, eyes glazed, hovers out over the water and, with a single movement of his tiny arms, summon forth a tempest of cutting buffeting winds which rolls over the party balanced on the raft with terrible power. The raft is pushed away swiftly by the power of the small storm wizard which sends both Rain and Water sprawling over the side of the raft into the water with a mighty splash.

The waterspouts glide over the water with deadly decision, pummelling the heroes fallen into the water and almost pulling Shandra in as well. The elf throws her self to the ground and releases the pole in order to save herself. Rain is dragged further away form the raft and Wat is dragged under.

A third water spout spins around the other side of the raft and nearly rip both Zuri and Sabynha from the raft but they also throw themselves to the ground and hold on for dear life. The last spout heads straight for the fallen and fragile figure of Zuri, caught in the cold buffeting wind of the wind wizard's power, picking her body up like a leaf and slamming her back to the raft roughly.

The calm has turned to deadly chaos once more.
